Only real danger for NY is if the extended rest turns to rust. I don't see that happening with this team because they have come out hot every first quarter during that sweep averaging 33.5 pp in the first and they were 8th in that stat on the year with Cleveland right behind them in 9th.
But they're also 3rd in scoring margin and basically the top 3 are on a different plane to everyone else the other 2 are okc and spurs. If they win, they'll probably cover.
Cleveland being off a blowout in a game 7 now goes on the road again and they were losing every road game until winning back to back in Detroit. I'm not thinking this is a good spot to now win 3 in a row with the other team so rested and so good. Cleveland will chuck up plenty of shots, if legs are tired though, NY is an excellent rebounding team and has been rolling so well, their last opponent was also off a 7 game series and they smoked them, I don't think the Cavs are winning this series either, but if they do make it interesting it will be winning back home. The Knicks to me are in a top 3 category above everyone else. Line dropping is absolutely fine I think the original line was bang on and people just haven't seen NY play in a while and the Cavs looked so good the last game just the other night. If the Knicks win it will probably be a blowout anyway.
